• Bioparc next door, the animal park sits inside the grounds, so a park morning pairs easily with a zoo afternoon (tickets sold separately)
• Swan boats on the lake are rented near the amphitheater and are the one paid extra here
• Marked nature walks such as the Senda de la Ribera (20 minutes) and the Paseo del Molí del Sol (30 minutes) loop through the woods

Parque de Cabecera is the west end of the Turia Garden, in the old riverbed where the river once entered the city. A channel from the Molí del Sol runs through it, forming islets and small waterfalls before reaching a central lake with swan-shaped boats.

Around it are riverside woods, pine groves, play areas including a pirate-ship playground, a café, an open-air amphitheater and a lookout hill facing the Sierra Calderona.
